I just built this new system, and It has run fine for the past day, I got vista installed and everything worked. I reset it for an automatic update, and it shut down windows but the fans/hdd's kept running. I held the power button down until everything stopped. Now when the system has power (the power supply is plugged in and the switch is on) it automatically turns on, runs for 5 seconds, then turns off. It does not make it to post. Any help.

Unplug the plug that goes from the power supply to the mother board and reconnect it again. See if that does anything.

no, it was a serious problem, i unplugged the power switches called techs, and they said it was a grounding issue, and after doing a grounding test i know have sent it in for an RMA, thanks tho
